■ Injuries on the offensive line are becoming a huge concern with Weems and Hix leaving. That forced players such as Marcus Cannon, Nate Solder, and Donald Thomas to take double the amount of reps. That really exposes those guys to fatigue injuries.

■ Lloyd finally got back in the swing of things.

■ Not a real crisp practice for the passing offense again. The frustration from QB Tom Brady was palpable.

■ Ras-I Dowling had an interception.

■ Rookie Nate Ebner was on the top kickoff return unit on his second practice day.

■ About half of practice was spent on prep work, likely for the Saints.

■ Slater and Ihedigo shed their red jerseys so they’re full go for contact.
